4. I avoid it.
WalMart was easy to boycott - haven't been there since the 1990's. Target is harder, but no, I've not been there since 'the incident'.

5. I'm not part of the "we" here that seems to believe boycott is the answer to everything.
I wonder if anyone has ever compiled a complete DU boycott list because it has to be very, very long.

13. You know, how frequently are the little people forgotten in the noble boycott cause.
Funny that, you'd reckon on a Democratic site that more would give some consideration to the working people just trying to get by who lose their jobs because of a boycott.

6. I am and the good news is
that the Minnesota Courts upheld the disclosure requirement which allowed us to know this was going on. And even better news, it looks like the Right Wing Emmer is going down so Target spent money, lost revenue, and got nothing.

9. I dunno...I thought we were still boycotting the red states
for voting for Bush in 2004.

Did we forgive them when they voted for Obama?


it's so hard to keep track anymore...

:cry:

14. Wait, I thought we were boycotting Walmart.
At some point all these boycotts start to add up to a sluggish consumer sector. You don't suppose that's what's slowing down the economic recovery, do you?
